S.T.R.E.A.M
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, READING , ENGINEERING, ART AND MATH
S.T.R.E.A.M
STEM / STEAM ,
The main difference between STEM and STEAM is STEM explicitly focuses on scientific concepts.
STEAM investigates the same concepts but does this through inquiry and problem-based learning methods used in the creative process.
WHY STREAM?
- Includes high focus on reading
- Engaging
- Addresses multiple-disciplines
- Culminating Field Trips
WHY READING?
- Dyslexia affects 20% of the population and represents 80–90% percent of all those with learning disabilities. It is the most common of all neuro-cognitive disorders.
- iReady scores showed that 77% of students at a local BCPS are reading at an elementary level (K-5)
- Only 21% of students in Baltimore City score at or above proficient levels
